An effective protest would be for ALL Arsenal fans to cancel their BT subscription. That would get noticed fast. It would have the added bonus of hitting the organisation that likes making ads taking the piss out of us, not that we don't deserve it. I think that could be organised a lot easier too and it wouldn't have to be 100% effective to get their attention.

Because it's not primarily the titles and the tactics and the effort of the players or any of the football stuff. Shit happens in football. You get good managers, bad managers, Wenger. You get a Theo for every Joel. The ups, downs and in and arounds of football. These things eventually change if you wait long enough. The real piss take is the fact the club has been hijacked by cunts who are so greedy they don't even try to hide the piss take. They are busy making money hand over fist and they've taken a sport with all its traditions and history and fucked everything that was good out the window so they can leech every last drop from the fanaticism and loyalty of the fan base. Fuck them. They are vampires, but the kid that thrive on cash. You can boo them, scream at them, chuck stuff at them, stomp off, doesn't matter. They don't give a shit about any of that. You have to cut off their cash supply and threaten their future cash supplies, then they feel the hunger. Their goal is to set up their cosy little European league of "big teams" (who are all getting pissed on by Leicester, btw). Find a way to take that away from them, don't fund the fucking thing, fuck their plans up, piss on their parade for a change. That's how it has to be done.

Who is the most influential Arsenal voice that could organise such a boycott? This is what should be done.


Chuck in the corruption at the top levels, the piss-poor quality of the players and the football these days, the way Sky and the Media are turning everything into a soap opera, the irritating pundits... at some point you've really got to stop and have a serious look at what we're actually getting out of it as fans?

Someone jokingly described it as a drug the other day, but I'm wondering if that isn't actually too far from the truth? It's certainly starting to feel more like an addiction than something enjoyable. I'd be interested to know many people of here keep going back for more because they genuinely still love it, and how many are doing it because they literally can't walk away, and don't know what they'd do with themselves if they did?
